The two embraced tightly, wishing they could embed the other into their bodies.
At that moment, all the grievances and panic she had suffered poured out like a flood. Chu Qingcheng's body convulsed continuously, tears streaming down her face, like a wounded kitten, nestled in her husband's arms.
Her husband's embrace felt so safe and secure; she didn't want to leave for even a moment longer.
"My husband..."
"Okay, it's alright now, don't be afraid."
Sun Jian could only hold her tenderly and gently comfort her.
"Lord Wang, you...you've come all this way."
Sun Hu endured the intense pain in his lower body and staggered to his feet.
His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he couldn't understand why Sun Jian and Wang Zhongwu would be in the dungeon together.
"Well, well, Sun Hu, Chief Sun, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today, I would never have imagined that there would be such a despicable person as you in my directly administered yamen."
Magistrate Wang was so angry that his face turned red and he was almost breathing fire.
Sun Hu broke out in a cold sweat and knelt down with a thud, hurriedly retorting, "It's a misunderstanding, Lord Wang! It's all a misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding? I never expected that such a thing would happen so soon after I took office in Hongnong County! I think you want to go to the guillotine."
"Lord Wang...this subordinate...this subordinate..."
"It's you!"
Sun Hu was in a state of extreme emotional collapse. He pointed at Sun Jian standing to the side and roared, "It was you who instigated this! You must have framed me behind my back!"
"Lord Wang, you must not believe this boy's one-sided story."
"Insolence! I witnessed your actions myself, and Lord Wang can corroborate this. How dare you try to deny it again!"
"Someone come here!"
Lord Wang was too lazy to waste any more words with Sun Hu, so he directly summoned his trusted men and had Sun Hu taken into custody.
Sun Hu instinctively wanted to resist, but Lord Wang wouldn't tolerate it.
"Sun Hu! If you dare to arrest me now, you will be sentenced to death!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Hu deflated like a punctured balloon, his body instantly going limp.
As the head constable, how could he not understand the consequences of resistance?
He was just a squad leader, at most a police captain, while Magistrate Wang was the Party Secretary of the city.
He was a ninth-rank official, while the other person was a seventh-rank official.
Whether in terms of power or official position, it was overwhelming.
Even if they manage to escape the guards' custody now, even if they manage to take hostages, they still cannot escape the punishment of the law!
The more they resist, the faster they will die, and they may even end up in exile.
At that moment, he felt utterly desperate.
It's over, it's all over.
He had worked hard for half his life to get to the position of squad leader, but in one night he lost everything and might have to spend a few more years in prison.
That damned Sun Jian! Just how well has he been hiding his true nature? He's not the incompetent coward his brother Sun Hao described!
What kind of extraordinary abilities does he possess that enabled him to coordinate with the county magistrate to take such action in such a short time?
Sun Hu's eyes were filled with hatred, wishing he could skin Sun Jian alive and tear him apart. He believed that Sun Jian was the one who had caused him to end up in this situation.
"Wait a minute."
Sun Jian released Chu Qingcheng at this moment and took a few steps forward.
“Sun Jian! When did you ever have the right to speak here? Even if you framed me for breaking the law, that will be dealt with by Lord Wang after his thorough investigation. Who do you think you are, a lowly commoner, to dare to obstruct Lord Wang from enforcing the law?”
Sun Jian remained unyielding, spewing profanities at everyone.
"Oh."
Sun Jian liked his unyielding attitude, and turned to Wang Zhongwu, saying, "Give me ten minutes before you deal with him."
Upon seeing Sun Jian's order to the county magistrate, Sun Hu burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, a mere commoner dares to command an entire county..."
Before Sun Hu could finish speaking, Magistrate Wang interrupted him.
"Sir, please make yourself at home."
Seeing Magistrate Wang bow respectfully to Sun Jian, Sun Jian's mental world almost collapsed.
How could a county magistrate bow to a lowly commoner who couldn't afford food and was starving to death, and even treat him as an honored guest?
Who exactly was Sun Jian?
What on earth happened?!
At that moment, Sun Hu was completely numb. He could hardly believe his eyes and even thought he was dreaming.
But when Sun Jian squatted down and swung his arm to deliver a hard slap to his face, making a crisp, loud sound, he realized that he wasn't dreaming and that it was all real!
"Smack!"
A red handprint, like a branding iron, was imprinted on Sun Jian's cheek. A piercing pain instantly swept through his brain, making his body tremble. A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth. Had he not trained in martial arts for several years, he would have almost fainted from that slap.
"What? Not so smug anymore?"
Sun Jian glared at Sun Hu with a fierce expression, reached out and pinched the swollen spot on his face, twisting it hard, causing Sun Hu to scream in pain.
It should be noted that Sun Jian's martial arts skills at this time far exceeded those of ordinary people, and the strength of his subordinates was enough to twist Sun Hu's face to pieces.
Sun Hu was still panting heavily from the slap, a far cry from his previous amazing appearance.
"You dare to mess with me?"
"Smack!"
"Make me sweep up a pee?"
"Smack!"
"You'll kill me sooner or later?"
"Smack!"
With each word Sun Jian spoke, he slapped Sun Hu hard across the face.
Magistrate Wang and Wang Youren stood by like stone pillars, watching silently.
One slap after another, four or five more, nearly knocked out all of Sun Jian's teeth. Blood and saliva mixed together in his mouth, dripping onto the grass clippings and his clothes.
Sun Jian controlled the force perfectly, inflicting excruciating pain each time, but without causing the man to faint.
This is the way to deal with this kind of garbage.
"Let me give you a piece of advice in your own words: if you mess with the wrong person, you're not far from death."
After saying this, Sun Jian stood up, turned to look at Chu Qingcheng, who was still in shock, and smiled: "Qingcheng, watch closely, your husband will avenge you."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Sun Jian kicked Sun Hu hard in the stomach. Sun Hu was sent flying from the guards' grasp, tumbling several times before crashing into the wall and losing consciousness.
Chu Qingcheng was so frightened that she helplessly opened her mouth with her hand, but her eyes were full of love and warmth when she looked at Sun Jian.
"I'm sorry, Lord Wang... I really couldn't help it."
After beating Sun Hu, Sun Jian realized that he might have gone too far by beating someone in front of the county magistrate and the post station official, and he quickly apologized.
Magistrate Wang pretended not to see anything and turned to ask Lord Wang, "Lord Wang, what did you see?"
"I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything at all. Wasn't this caused by prisoner Sun Hu during his arrest?"
Seeing how much the two old men had gone to for his sake, Sun Jian felt a surge of gratitude.
He pulled Chu Qingcheng into his arms again; she was as beautiful as jade.
Chu Qingcheng nestled against Sun Jian like a little bird, her soft and firm breasts instantly igniting a burning heat in Sun Jian's lower abdomen—a feeling that was indescribable…
